- Hi Harv
-
- I was interested in your discussion about the Parnet program for linking a
- CDTV to an Amiga. I have an A500+ with a GVP Hard Disk in the expansion
- port - exactly where an A570 unit would sit. And I believe there is no way
- to have them both connected at the same time i.e. no through-port on the A570.
- I also have an old A500 (1.2 KS, 1/2 Mb chip) which I could use for a CDTV
- upgrade offer. The price difference between a CDTV and an A570 is not that
- greate, and you get a much sexier looking unit with the CDTV as well as
- a remote controller... so the big question is, with parnet will my A500+
- be able to use the CDTV as though it were an A570, and allow me to use my
- Hard Disk as well - or do you know a way of connecting the two at once.
-
- Yours in ignorance 8-)
